Ghaetta 14th c. Medieval dance music feat. David McCormick on vielle, Brian Kay lutes & percussion
Please like and subscribe, it really helps!
Ghaetta is a 14th c. long form Medieval dance piece from Italy. The type of dance is known as an Istanpitta, and comes to us as a single voiced melody in a manuscript that can best be described as chicken scratch.
The instruments featured are 4 course (early) Medieval lute, Medieval Oud, goblet drum, and vielle played by David McCormick.
This was intended to take the place of a live concert performance, so all instrument performances in this video were done in a single take.
Thanks for watching!

Dedicated to Jeannette Sorrell It was a lover and his lass appears in the play As You Like It by William Shakespeare. This version was composed by Thomas Morley as a lute song.

Wulf & Eadwacer - Old English song c. 9th c. - Brian Kay, Anglo Saxon Lyre & Voice
Просмотров 63 тыс.4 года назад
Wulf & Eadwacer is an Old English, or Anglo Saxon poem from the Exeter Book, circa 9th c. It is a very strange and mysterious text which has been the source of much scholarly debate about its interpretation. I've done my best with the translation for the purposes of this video, but there are many ways to interpret and translate the text, and some of the words have double, and even triple meanin...

    The recreation of the instruments is awesome and the performance. Awesome there. I have problems with the version. Greek people loved simplicity, and the lyrics invites to relax and joy, you made it sound almost baroque, almost tedious. I could feel even the air of the sea in the melody, but not in your version

    Mi sorprende che ci siano tanti commenti entusiastici riguardo a musica modale di due millenni fa. Non risentendo di attrazioni tonali, non può che sonare alquanto vacua, abituati come siamo da quattro secoli alle più smaglianti architetture dei geni della musica tonale occidentale, da Monteverdi a Stravinskij
